    Posted: 29 October 2006 at 12:25pm
First, i am from sweden so my english is not that good.

1. I am choosing from the 98c act whit e-grip and the 98c PRO act whit e-grip, witch on shoud you choose ?

Is the only differens on the Pro modell the longer barrel, the dubbel trigger and the drop forward ?

I can live whitout the dropforward and iam planing to buy a 16" barral anyway so is it the dubbeltrigger so good that i sould choose the PRO modell ?

2. And should you choose a e-grip or a responstrigger ?

3. Some one told me that 98c e-grip no longer have fullauto mode ? is that right and if it is, whitch fire modes have the e-grip to 98c/98c pro ?

PS. I am playing whit CO2.

Welcome to the Forums!

1. I'd stick with the 98c ACT with Egrip. As you said, the only difference is the double trigger, barrel, and drop forward. Double triggers are nice to use with the Egrip, so it is your choice if you want it to come on the gun or not.

2. The response trigger is not legal in a lot of tournaments or fields, so I'd choose the egrip.

3. I would really urge you to stay away from full auto anyways. You will become a better player by sticking to semi-auto mode.

CO2 is fine to use. However, you will want a faster hopper for the Egrip. I would reccomend a cylone feed.

The new E-Grip has NXL mode, which means after shooting 3bps (balls per second) you can hold down the trigger and the marker will shoot 15bps full auto.

Cyclones are nice but you if you upgrade to another marker you won't be able to put that hopper on and would need to buy another hopper.

NXL 3 shot - after you fire 3 shots, the gun goes to full auto.
PSP 3 shot - after you fire 3 shots, the gun shoots 15.
Turbo is basically ramping
Response is when a shot is fired on the pull and release of the trigger(like the response trigger)

It depends on which of the firing modes you're in.

do you have any idea how the response trigger works?

it doesnt fire on each pull and release.

when you fire, the rod behind the trigger is pushed forward by extra gas produced in the firing cycle, which forces your finger forward. since this happens very fast, your finger is still putting pressure on the trigger, so it fires again and the whole cycle repeats itself, making the trigger bounces back and forth very fast.

WAITTT.... don't buy the 16 inch barrel.  It won't make your gun any more accurate than a 12 inch barrel (it will probably be less accurate acctually than the 12 or 14 inch) and it will get in the way too. That's just my opinion.
